What are the child to teacher ratios?

What items should my child wear and not wear?

If your child is old enough to wear shoes, closed toe shoes are a requirement. Two of our four playgrounds are mulch covered and your child might get hurt if they have opened toed shoes.

How can I keep up with what’s going on with my child’s classroom?

There are many ways you can keep up with the events going on your child’s classroom. One way is looking at the parent board on a daily basis. Some examples of what could be posted on there are any sing up sheets for a party or special events, the week’s lesson plan and also the month’s newsletter. Anything that the teacher wants the parents to see will always be posted up. Also, any updated information for the school can be found on the website. If you have any further questions, you may ask the front office at any time.

What should my child bring?

Depending on how old your child is, the items they need to bring might vary. If you have an infant you will need to bring diapers, type of milk they are drinking, extra clothing, etc. If you have a preschooler all they will need to bring is a crib sheet a blanket for nap time, and change of clothes/shoes in case of an accident.
